Red Dot Design Award

The microphone ROG Carnyx is designed for live streaming and in-game communication. It features a 25 mm studio-quality condenser capsule that captures fine sound nuances and provides a warm sound image, a high-pass filter and a built-in pop filter. Metal, which is used for the shock mount, for example, plays a crucial role in terms of materials. Elastic suspension cables absorb desktop vibrations.

Silver Award

... the Asus ROG Carnyx is a microphone with very good recording results and a very good power output when it comes to amplification. On top of that, it has a smart design (with two colours to choose from) and a very appreciable shock-mount system, something we're seeing less and less on new products, so it's worth applauding.

It’s an excellent product that is crafted to the smallest detail.
